About Capitol Steel Company
Working out of Sacramento, California, Capitol Steel Company handles industrial steel and scrap for sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need a paid outlet for metal. The operation accepts aluminum, brass, copper, and lead on the inbound side, per directory records. The categories listed run the standard intake mix the yard reported as part of its public-facing snapshot, which gives a working sense of how a load might fit before any drive over. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
